Pros

Facilities are good Management reasonably competent Upper management must be doing something right -- IBM keeps growing

Cons

Increasingly, they are dumping US-based employees. Heartlessly so. And hiring in India / China / etc. The company is bailing out of the USA. Their view on labor is "you're LUCKY to work for us and should be loyal because of the IBM tradition of greatness." Meanwhile, they pay less than other "great" companies; they dump US employees who have been "loyal" for years and hire in developing markets just to save some money on salaries. That's business, but it's annoying that they expect you to buy this "loyalty" thing. IBM isn't loyal to its employees.
